Littleme, was your 'announcement' completely out of the blue? Ours was a friend we've not seen in while so had literally no idea, really knocked me for six.

Yep, completely out of the blue. Got to love those ones.....

Code really sorry to read your post, sending best wishes to you and your family

xx

Loveactually

So sorry for the way things are going for you Code.

Hope that your dad feels better soon.

Huge hugs :grouphug:

Oh Code, I hope things improve rapidly for you I really do :-(

Oh code, huge huge hugs to you. I really hope it’s just a bad start to the year and the rest of 2014 will get better. It’s absolutely carpy when someone in your family is rushed to hospital – DH’s dad was rushed in one week after I started DR-ing and only came out about 10 days ago (one week aftermy ET). It’s a worrying time though, please take care of yourself and DH and best wishes to all of you. Fingers crossed your dad gets better soon xxx :grouphug: :kisses3:


tink – don’t worry, as everyone has said, Clomid can mess up your cycles (and everything else!). I had 7 months of it (but only 2 with bloods) but I’m pretty sure I only ovulated on about 3 of those months. x


star – Woohoo! 22 follies is fab and all really good sizes! Keeping all my fingers crossed for you on Monday x :T


love – last time I stimmed for 11 days with my trigger shot on the 11th day. x


Best wishes and good luck to all of you having treatment at the moment (and hugs to everyone else). xxx



ETA: re: the lists - same as before, if you remember to put any changes in magenta then that’s fab but don’t worry if you forget – I’ll be reading everything anyway and I’ll update the ‘ongoing’ list every few pages or so

Not sure why the formatting's gone a bit funny in the 'recent graduates' bit - oh well, never mind, the info's still the same

Let me know if you want anything updated

Ooh and forgot to add - last year DH had his variococele investigated and they offered to do the surgery on it. DH wasn't keen at the time but they said not to worry and his referral would last for a year if he changes his mind.
Suprise suprise, his year is up next month and he's decided to go for it! Although it's questionable whether he needs it now for the low wriggly count (as it was 21 million when we had ICSI) but he is still in pain every day with it and they said they'd operate for the pain anyway.

Hugs to everyone xxx

I'm symptom spotting again, you'd think I'd be past it! *sigh*

Part_Mouse

Well my bloods are ok, got more hormones and some pain killers, very crampy and soooo tired. Also have some iron tablets to see if they will help, already taking iron drinks though.

tea_lover

Eek, I start with norwhatever tomorrow! So maybe only (ha!) about 12 days till I start stimms. Have a feeling I'm going to struggle to remember a tablet three times a day.... remind me ladies!

OH really made me laugh last night. He gave his sample for freezing at the start of the week, and I said something to him about only having to go once more (on day of EC). He said he didn't mind now, was really used to it It reminded me of the day I realised I had no shame anymore about internal scans. It's amazing what becomes 'normal' during fertility treatment!

ETA: I also win today's 'comment bingo' for spotting a 'just relax and it will happen' .
